Another love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
"Sometimes to keep it together
We got to leave it alone"

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

"I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
or keep this tarnished halo shined
but I'll never betray your trust
angel mine."

Angel Mine by Cowboy Junkies

Someday when my husband and I renew our vows and have an actual wedding (not a 5-minute "quickie" at city hall like we did) I want to say this to him as part of my wedding vows. I think it is just so honest and pretty much how I've lived our relationship these 21 years.

I like that song and the lines would make perfect wedding vows :)

This old man he played one
he played knick-knack on my thumb
with a knick-knack paddy whack
give the dog a bone
this ole man came rolling home...

...one of many I sing at work...and I work alone...good thing, hey!

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer!
had a very shiny nose!
and if you ever asked him!
he can even touch his toes
all of the other reindeer
gave him all kinds of grief
they never let poor Rudolph
win at horseshoes or checkers!

...another

oh! the lady of the house
has a mouse in her blouse
well did he get out?
uh I think he did

...I haven't seen him since around that time....he ran a music store in Coshocton, Ohio and was an advertising client of my father's...hell of a nice guy...Dan "Pearly" Mitchell...he went to Nashville, and we haven't heard anything of him since....

"How I wish,how I wish you were here..we're just two lost souls,swimmin' in a fishbowl,year after year..runnin' over the same old ground,have you found..the same old fears..wish you were here.." really,the whole song is a poem..
